Rodney Harrison Snub Tom Brady With Burning Jacoby Brissett Take

Jacoby Brissett was excellent in the Week 7 game against the Houston Texans. His four-touchdown performance was brilliant, and his team defeated the Texans with a 30-23 win. But, is he really the best quarterback in the AFC at the moment? That’s what Rodney Harrison said.

Harrison actually advised Brady to retire after winning the Super Bowl. “As a friend, I’d like to see him win a championship and move on,” he said. Well, the quarterback friend didn’t want to hear about it at all. Moreover, Brady responded to the Hall of Famer.

Harrison praised the former-Patriot and current Indianapolis Colts signal-caller during halftime of Sunday Night Football.

“Heck, I think he’s the best quarterback in the AFC right now… Who’s outplaying him right now? Tell me who’s outplaying him,” Harrison said of Brissett.

He probably forgot that Tom Brady is the only quarterback to lead his team to an undefeated record. Patrick Mahomes is out of the game at the moment. Brissett has a higher QB rating (101.1) than Brady (97.5) now, but he has 1,388 passing yards, and that ranks him 11^th in the AFC.

Harrison was actually the one who advised Brady to retire after the Super Bowl. But, Brady wasn’t buying any of that, and he had the perfect response for the Hall of Famer.

“I didn’t talk to Rodney about that. I don’t think anyone wants to see anyone get hurt,” Brady said. “But you could be 24 and get hurt, you could be 26 and get hurt. It’s a contact sport. Anything can happen. But again, you just do your best to prepare your body for the types of hits you’re going to take. Again, it’s a yearlong process. I never really get out of shape, I stay in good shape. I love playing football and I love the competition and love competing at the highest level. I don’t know what’s more fun for me than running out against Kansas City in the biggest game of our season in front of 70,000 people and coming away with the win. That was one of the great joys of my life. And I think you can never go back as an athlete. It’s not like I’m going to retire for a year and then come back when I’m 43. I’m just going to keep playing. When I feel like I don’t want to make the commitment, or feel like I’ve had enough, then I’ve had enough. But in my view, this year, next year, the year after that, I want to keep playing, because I really love it, and I’m having a lot of fun.”
